BBC article: 'Transgender inmate admits Wakefield jail sex offences'
"A transgender prisoner has admitted sexually assaulting inmates at a women's jail.

Karen White, 51, who was born male but now identifies as a woman, has pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual touching at New Hall Prison, Wakefield.

The offences took place between September and November last year. She has since been moved to a male prison.

Details emerged when White appeared at Leeds Crown Court to admit to a rape committed before she was jailed.

She previously admitted two further rape charges, which also happened outside prison.

White will be sentenced for all offences on 11 October."

No, there are no female inmates in the male estate.

Seem to remember that from Ministry of Justice FOI that Fair Play for Women published.

The LM tweet

@madigan_lily
Make no mistake - this is transmisogynistic fear mongering. About 80,000 people are sexually assaulted every year in prison. A deeper look into the story shows how unsupported it is with no reports from the prison; charges; etc, There is only one reason this is front page news...

Lily Madigan hasn't deleted their tweet casting doubt on these womens accusations but just checked and Natasha Devon has. Guess one of them has had the belated realisation that its not a good look to cast doubt on sexual assault victims. Another reminder that you need be the "right" type of victim attacked by the "right" kind of perpetrator for some "woke" people to believe you.

That tweet thread makes illuminating reading, especially

AsAProfessionalFekko · 06/09/2018 20:33

How do they (tweeters) know they any one of the victim isn't a male bodied person identifying as a woman. Who would they defend?

That would have been a bloody shock to the offender. Although most likely not, to be honest.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 06/09/2018 20:36

rainbowninja is really on the ball on that thread

Popchyk · 06/09/2018 20:38

From the Telegraph link:

"If an inmate identifies as their non-legally recognised gender, a local Transgender Case Board will meet to assess, but must take account of the previous offending history.
However, that did not take place in this case."

So this man was accused of repeated rape and been previously convicted of a sexual offence against a child.

So he is put on remand and goes straight into a women's prison. And the Transgender Assessment Board stage did not take place for him because he was put directly into a women's prison?

Is that right?

Angryresister · 06/09/2018 20:39

Interesting to see he used different names...this is very common when these men are trying to hide and deceive to cover up their crimes. Should never have been put anyone near women. No respect

GirlScout72 · 06/09/2018 20:43

Jay Stewart of Gendered Intelligence (they that wrote the Girl Guides policy for trans inclusion) sits on the board that manages trans prisoners.

Just sayin'

Ereshkigal · 06/09/2018 20:43

Wow popchyk Shock

GirlScout72 · 06/09/2018 20:44

DBS

A whole other shit show. Trans people can apply in their new name, and the system (which is overloaded to buckling point I hear, they are already skimping on standard checks) relies on said trans person ringing the helpline and being honest.

deepwatersolo · 06/09/2018 20:51

Regarding Lily Madigan: Not sure when this prisoner admission story broke. However today there was a Twitter Convo, where somebody (a woman obviously) complains about Lily Madigan:

'Biologically, a woman does not have a penis. Yet many say transwomen are women. Tell Lily Madigan that. She hasn't said or done one thing to defend straight or gay women's rights. Not one.'

And Lily answers:
'I’m literally a young person about to start university. Stop holding me to weird standards.'

Is this for real? Even if this was before the story broke, it, let's say, odd for any public figure who represents anyone. Or is this by any chance a mock account?

SausageOnAFork · 06/09/2018 20:55

So this is either a trans woman who is assaulting women - this doesn’t happen we are told
Or it’s a sexual predator who is pretending to be a trans woman to gain access to women - this doesn’t happen we are told.

The long and the short of it is that women have been assaulted by a person with a penis. This person should never have been locked up with women.

OlennasWimple · 06/09/2018 20:58

And we have nothing to fear from the proposed legislation, because it will still allow for risk assessments...when even the fecking prison service was unable to conduct an appropriate risk assessment here, because of the starting point of self-ID being upheld

VickyEadie · 06/09/2018 21:06

And Lily answers:
'I’m literally a young person about to start university. Stop holding me to weird standards.'

Has Lily resigned the post of women's officer? Or is Lily ducking out of being made to respond on this embarrassing issue, given Lily's previous appalling comments on it?

heresyandwitchcraft · 06/09/2018 21:07

The Telegraph have covered the case, too.

Knicknackpaddyflak · 06/09/2018 21:08

There's honestly no point trying to make sense of those tweets or look for any kind of logic in them. There isn't any. Many of the well known TRAs have issues with reality and for them reality is created by emotion in the moment, not facts or logic. So two totally conflicting statements or factually incorrect statements are fine, because they serve the emotion. The question is, whether people who function in this way should be operating in public facing roles where facts, reality, responsibility, the rights of people you don't personally care about and other uncool stuff like that actually has to matter. As the Green Party is currently realising.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 06/09/2018 21:20

'I’m literally a young person about to start university. Stop holding me to weird standard

YOU decided you fancied being womans officer

The whole point of womens officer is that they stand up for women

The clue is in the fucking name

YOU are not being held to a weird standard

The bar for YOU has been set very very very low

Stand up for women...that was it

heresyandwitchcraft · 06/09/2018 21:32

Trans advocates can only advocate for:

  1. Themselves
  2. Trans stuff
  3. Themselves

It's patently obvious they do not give a damn about anyone or anything else.

ChasingMyTale · 06/09/2018 21:41

Seriously, this is the sort of stuff we need to be sharing. Surely people can't read this and continue to dismiss concerns as transphobia!!

Ereshkigal · 06/09/2018 21:48

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 06/09/2018 21:51
